GOOD NEWS FOLKS!! ATPTurbo ATP-WGT-137 kit for 300D installed on OM602 with NO MODS!!
That's right NO MODS!
I didn't realize it at first but the ATPTurbo actuator rod tip has an extender on it and if you remove it then it will fit on the OM602 perfectly, no cutting the rod, no adding threads etc... Boost is 3-6 lbs all the time unless my foot is not on the gas peddle, and when I nail it boost quickly builds to 13 PSI and stays there as long as I keep my foot down.
I performed the removal and install from the top by removing the passenger side fire wall which made it pretty easy. I tapped into pressure using the test port on the intake manifold with a M10 1.0 barb hose fitting and some high heat silicone tubing. Easy to run the hose from that location so don't let that steer you away. Just buy 5ft and trim as needed.
So happy to rip out all the vacuum crap on the passenger side and both the flapper and EGR are now inoperable because the vacuum lines are removed.
Note my transmission shifted just a tad hard before and now it actually flares a bit when I nail it so my 0-60 times were impacted. Best I got was 17 seconds. However I wont try to dial that in yet because I have a spare transmission I'll be swapping out soon due to worn out reverse clutches.
Thanks to everyone on this thread.

PS I noticed oil in front of my turbo intake and confirmed its the PCV breather hose not the turbo. Unfortunately from what I have seen on youtube the issue is inside the valve cover and its "not serviceable" so not sure what I can do to fix it. I am sure this is a significant source for the goop that builds in the intake manifold. Probably way more than the EGR side.
